BOSAC debates trails scoring matrix: commissioners split on whether conservation should be a gatekeeper

Commissioners reviewed a new trails work-plan matrix that scores proposals by conservation, user experience, community context and cost. Debate focused on whether conservation should be an overriding 'go/no-go' criterion or a weighted factor among co-equal master-plan goals; members proposed testing the tool on sample trails and adding criteria for net ecological benefit and trail rework/decommissioning.
